Ever since reading Thinking in Bets, I cannot help but constantly reframe options & scenarios into probabilities - especially with my 4yr-old gdaughter.

Gratitude to me feels like it’s nestled in warmth. I feel it when I hear my granddaughter say, “BB & Papa,” in her sweet breathy voice. It’s as if the words hold magic & are best used in little bits because of their power.

Do you feel respected?
Respect begins with self-respect. Before we can be there for others, we need to recognize and honor our own needs and limits.

Old chimney pots & earthenware pipes make splendid tall garden containers! 🪴 Transform Belfast/Butler sinks into miniature alpine gardens. Buckets & old metal cans create eye-catching planters. Drill drainage holes, add gravel, newspaper, & compost. Perfect for herbs! #Salvage #Upcycle #GardenTips

Privileged to read early copy of #SilentY by #KatherineBenfante.
Swept away in a thought experiment that seems so absurd, yet reveals elements that brush (sometimes too closely) with undercurrents in today’s world.
